West ham United fans were so close to being given the perfect start to their FA Cup campaign. All that they needed to do was get through the 2-0 win at Priestfield Stadium against Gillingham without injury for that to happen, but unfortunately, Ryan Fredericks picked up a hamstring injury.
I would imagine that this would possibly see us go for one. Someone like Clyne on loan although he is injury prone too but we shall see how long it is first I guess https://t.co/bLcGruNAWA

With that being the case, the Irons now face the tough task of five or six weeks with just Pablo Zabaleta as their lone fit right-back, and whilst the Argentine is a Premier League great, he’s not good enough to be a Premier League regular anymore.
That’s where ExWHUemployee came in and responded to a fan claiming that ‘he would imagine’ that the Hammers will now be set to look at some options to bring in to bolster the right full-back area and name-dropped ‘someone like Clyne’, which has led to plenty of talk from the fans.

Bogle’s rumoured £7m price rage should surely be looked at!
He’d be a great long term RB— Steven McCarthy (@StevenMcCarthy9) January 5, 2020
Kid who played for Liverpool today was mustard. See if we can get him on loan?!

Why do our players seem to constantly get injured compared to say Leicester, burnley, wolves who seem to play the same 11/12 players

Or do you think he will promote Ben Johnson and give him a go?

The Hammers have all got an idea of what they want at right-back and all will become clear very soon what the club plan to do regarding the problem area.
